Wednesday Lunch PROGRAM
Every Wednesday, we welcome retired members of our community into our Paddy Reilly Hall for a chance to socialize, enjoy card games, hear from guest speakers, sip tea and coffee, and share a delicious hot lunch.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, we had to close our doors, but we made over 1,000 deliveries to support our community. A huge thank you to all the volunteers who made this delivery program possible — from our drivers to those who delivered on foot. Check out some pictures of the program in action here.
Our doors open at 10:30 AM, with lunch served at 1 PM.
Wednesday AFTERNOONs
Join us every Wednesday after lunch for card games and Bingo from 2 PM onward. Come together for an afternoon of fun, craic, and laughter at the Center.
Every other week, we host a Get Up and Dance Movement Class at 2.30 PM. Led by Valerie Green from Dance Entropy, this class will guide you through a series of gentle, dance-based exercises that are enjoyable and accessible for all.
